Problem identification, Zimbabwean Policy Making worst nightmare

Our government of presupposed learned folks irks the eye and ear as policy making have become policy taking. Arriving at a policy uptake level either based on populism or personal interest has been their political strategy. The ever rising issue of banning the import of cheap and used Japanese cars is yet one step that tells you we are going nowhere. The Zimbabwean government has resorted to fighting symptoms of the disease rather than the actual cause. The willow vale dudes have shown lack of research as to why people prefer Used cars than theirs. Instead of correcting that, they lure the policy takers into a dead end personal interest journey. A journey they think by banning used Japanese cars will see people affording theirs. Today, the country suffers from many diseases that shred from the economy, culture to politics. It is a reality that our sick nation is slowly landing into the intensive care unit fading into a coma. Zimbabwe is so sick that no one wants to invest ...

Nzira Dzemasoja Opposite of What ZANU PF has been Doing since 1980

It was the hope of seeing relatives, children and spouses that stayed to live in a better Zimbabwe. The spirit for the Zimbabweans generation should not live in a colonised country ever. It was not only the spirit of democracy, informed by majority rule. It was...

Does Voting Bring Change: Reality in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe has enjoyed voting since 1980. The trends of voting however have failed to attract new voters as well as retain old ones. The purpose to vote was introduced as a manifest war against the white regime which stood as the trump card than the electoral manifesto. On the 31 of July Zimbabweans, went again to cast their vote one more time, which I believe was for change. This change was not of anything but the way, elected officials have been conducting themselves. Cheaply as liars, only to resurface during election times. I ought to believe that the majority that stood more than the ones who voted joined in my belief that this process is alien to Zimbabwe even have been practised since 1980. It had brought nothing but state of art thieves that hide under the finger of sanctions whilst wining and dining in pools of corruption. Well, that casting process passed with the greatest shocker of all time, to the winners, losers as well as observers. I stand to say in Zimbabwe...

What will you be remembered for? 20th Century Generation of #Zimbabwe

What are you going to be remembered for? Is one question people ignore. However the answer to the question begins when one identifies him or herself as a youth in Zimbabwean case. It is not a responds to the common definition of a leader but resonate well being a leader. At the #263YALI event SirNige articulated that if you are that person who when ZESA (electricty) goes you are the first to enquire with ZESA, with no doubt you are a leader. This fair description aligns itself not to the common leader of the Office but one who aspires to lead with no position. Bruce Wharton speaks of creating a base, having people to follow you and  believe in you. Most of us have rushed towards positions of leadership, a contagious disease true leaders can forgo. It seems we want to be remembered as Secretary General, Coordinator, CEO to mention a few. The reality of the matter is that you will only be remembered as an office holder. Unless we question why we are where we are. Why you...

Madiba Memorial speech, Obama spot on

No one could have said it better, Obama unleashed inspiring venom on not only dictators or himself but all of us but all of us in our spheres of influence. He spoke not like an American but one of us the suppressed living in what I would call neo-apartheid era. The deeply motivating speech, provoked self-introspection of all of us as individuals, individuals remembering Madiba. It removed the sympathetic veil Dictators were wearing yet remembering the life of a cattle boy whose principles and values they dont implement. Those were the aspects Obama ignited in remembering Mandela. When a real hero or heroin is remembered or buried rains have to fall and heavily fall. Unplanned things smoothly run. That to me as an African describes a person respected by the heavens. A dream for our dictators who joined the rest of the world in remembering Madiba during the memorial service. Obama did the most decent and African manner in which we take advantage of the good the dead has don...

Last kicks of dying MDC- kicking sympathizers

The recent dilemma visibly shown by the MDC-T during the election period to date has abridged its value among its supporters, who has failed to comprehend the decision making process. She have failed to stand firm for a decision she would have made notably since the COPAC process. Prior elections, the party had shown her followers that she is indecisive as she had hinted that she will not take part in any elections till reforms set in GPA were fully implemented. Surprisingly this call came late after hints that elections were coming on the 31st of August 2013, after wasting 4 years enjoy whims facilitated by their baby national duties. The shocker came as they conducted their primary elections before ZANUPF, in a bid to prove they were ready for elections compared to ZANUPF that looked visibly unorganized to observers terms and not theirs. The contrast came when they held primary elections but rushed to SADC to have the date postponed by a month. SADC then raised their hopes ...

Professor Ncube suffers from Democracy blindness

Academic education becomes compromised when the most learned man fails to understand the basic principles of democracy. Whilst Professor Ncube has let his personal feelings towards Tsvangirai compromise his judgement on the credentials to be Zimbabwe`s president. “MDC-T leader Mr Morgan Tsvangirai is not fit to lead Zimbabwe because he does not possess the requisite qualities for President”, MDC leader Professor Welshman Ncube has said in the Herald Newspaper. Am not sure if this judgement comes after MDC-Ts 30 000 star Rally that bemoans the Freedom House findings as just but a mere farce to the people of Zimbabwe towards MDC-T as compared to their Insiza Rally that was shamelessly attended.  It’s a shame that the so much learned man has humiliated himself using the state media to De-campaign Tsvangirai rather than raise himself and his party up.   Democracy being a decision by the people for the people should have simply told his ignorant instincts that that decisio...
